A BRACE from Paul Brown ensured Motors bowed out of Blue Square North with a win on Saturday.

Carl Macauley’s side went into the game knowing it would be their last before they drop into the UniBond League, but they gave their fans hope for next season with an impressive display.

Vauxhall started brightly with Josh Wilson and Karl Noon going close early on. But manager-less Telford broke the deadlock on 26 minutes when a short corner by Kevin O’Connor was played to Jon Adams, whose right-footed shot beat James Coates from 10 yards.

Motors continued to drive forward and on 40 minutes Lee Furlong’s back heel put Josh Wilson through on goal. However, his shot from close range was parried by Telford keeper Ryan Young.

Just four minutes after the interval, Vauxhall were rewarded for their efforts when Brian Moogan struck a sweetly-taken free-kick from 25 yards which went in off the left-hand post.

Three minutes later, Motors were ahead when Karl Noon capitalised on a defensive mix-up and pulled the ball back for Brown, who fired home from close range.

The victory was sealed on 88 minutes when Tom Hannigan fed the ball to Brown, who outpaced the Telford defence with a 30-yard run before calmly slotting the ball past the advancing keeper.
